Every disease has its own story to tell - Dr Travis Brown
Picture this: It's 1981, and the CDC reports five seemingly healthy young men with a rare form of pneumonia. Fast forward a month, and another report surfaces—26 men, not just with pneumonia but also with Kaposi sarcoma, a rare tumor. What’s the connection? This episode of 'This Pathological Life' dives into the early days of HIV, a virus that would soon become a global health crisis and fuel waves of homophobia and prejudice. Host Steve Davis and pathologist Dr.
Travis Brown take you through the rollercoaster history of HIV, from its mysterious beginnings to its current status as a manageable condition. They discuss the initial confusion, the stigma, and the groundbreaking research that turned a once-terminal diagnosis into a treatable disease. If you’re curious about the twists and turns of medical history and the human stories behind them, this episode is for you.
